Oh my gosh, I can't believe it's been so long since I posted anything! Life has gotten so ridiculously busy lately and I've not been feeling very well either. This is definitely the LAST baby we have! I forgot how exhausting pregnancy can be! UGH. And last time, I hardly had any nausea at all... this time around, however, is making up for all that. And, of course, with "Baby Brain" I've been even more distracted than usual. And don't even talk to me about St. Patrick's Day or Easter... holidays are just way overwhelming at the moment. I'd love to decorate (omg I think we still have some random Christmas decorations up!) but it just takes too much energy. Although, we might do Easter eggs. I found some really cute ideas from one of my adventures on Pinterest! And, just so you know, hard boiled cooked eggs come out better if you steam them! Just ask Alton Brown of Good Eats. (love his show!) And check out his video here.

My laptop is still down and out, so I'm still using our son's laptop. I can't wait to get mine up and running again. Repair sessions have been sporadic.

I have been doing some more crocheting, though. Hopefully I can get some pics up here soon.

It's hard enough to try to get time to do anything these days, though, with an 18 month old running around like crazy! He's so adorable, curious, smart, funny, and totally obstinate and exasperating! LOL He's definitely hit the "Terrible Twos" already. He'll wake from a nap and just cry and scream like crazy and I have no idea why. Usually he wants to eat immediately, so that might be part of it. And the temper tantrums! OMG!

But then he does a complete 180 and is just so darned cute! He asked the UPS guy yesterday, "How you doin'?" Then told him "Bye" when he was walking away. Now, how cute is that?! And he loves to give fishy kisses and hugs all the time. So, it makes all the temper tantrums and crying and screaming (mostly) worth it. I'm amazed at how much I love that little guy.

And can you believe, we're doing it all over again?!?! Yep, the little peanut is due Sept. 12th, 2012. Hence, why I've not been feeling very well. And that's also why I'm up in the middle of the night as well. I've not been sleeping well at all.

But something that I've noticed lately in the mornings are the sunrises. They have been just beautiful lately. And the birds singing in the morning. For some reason, I've been noticing them more. It's been a very nostalgic and very nature oriented pregnancy this time. I think it was with the first baby, but this time around, my senses and emotions seem to be even more heightened. It's definitely different this time around, that's for sure!

Anyway, I'm getting excited about Spring Cleaning that we're going to be doing next month. We're hoping to have some yard sales as well, once we clear out a few ton of items. Let's just say that we have a two-car garage and there's barely an open pathway from the door to the washer & dryer! But I've got an idea for a system of getting stuff organized. I'll let you know if it works or not.

As for all my projects, well.... they're still going, just going a lot slower than I'd like them to, due to the exhaustion from the pregnancy.

Help me bring The Saratov Approach around the world!

Who Am I?

Well, if you really want to know, just read my "About Me" page. But in short, I'm a Mom who has a lot on her plate, who enjoys all the little things in life, who looks for the silver lining in daily catastrophes and who savors five minutes of uninterrupted quiet-time in a chaotic household. And in my spare time (yeah, right!) I enjoy photography, writing, art, gardening and gaming among many other hobbies that I never have time for.
